USEFUL TIPS
HOLD THE MRIDANGAM FIRMLY BETWEEN YOUR CALF MUSCLES.
KEEP YOUR ARMS IN LINE WITH YOUR BODY AND NOT BEHIND.
LET THE THOPPI BE A LITTLE NEARER TO THE BODY THAN THE RIGHT SIDE.
A WELL-TUNED INSTRUMENT PRODUCES THE BEST SOUND.
IF YOU KEEP RAVAI ON THOPPI, MAKE SURE THAT IT IS JUST ENOUGH AND WELL PASTED.
CLOSE ONE SIDE WITH THE HAND WHILE YOU ARE PLAYING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MRIDANGAM.
